MCHICHA NA NAZI (SPINACH WITH COCONUT)

 

Spinach is eaten widely all over Africa in a variety of forms: in

combination with meat, fish, other vegetables or on its own with seasonings.

Michicha Na nazi is pronounced ‘m-chi-cha nah nahzi’ and is a kind of

spinach from the small island of Lamu off the coast of Kenya.

 

1 large bunch of fresh spinach (silver beet) or 500 g (1 lb) frozen spinach

(silver beet) thawed

250 ml (8 fl oz) coconut milk

60 g (2 oz) ghee (Indian cooking butter) or butter

1 onion, diced

1 tomato, diced

5 g (1 teaspoon) curry powder

 

Remove the stalks and wash the fresh spinach (silver beet) thoroughly. Cook

the fresh spinach (silver beet) in the coconut milk for about 5 minutes and

drain well. Save the coconut milk.

In a saucepan, heat the ghee or butter and fry the onion, tomato and curry

powder for about 5 minutes. Add the cooked spinach (silver beet) or the

frozen spinach (thawed and drained) and the coconut milk. Stir all

ingredients well and cook for a further 15 minutes over low heat. Serve hot

with rice and fried fish dishes.

 

Serves 4.
